BEATING AROUND THE BUSH.

Beating around the bush, evading the
m ain question, lodging the real issue, is
what the Wichita Eagle has been doing
very successfully for several days past.

ton of enforcing and keeping it enforced?
-Atchison Champion.
Has not Attorney General Bradford said
there was no open saloons in Wichita7 Has
not the county attorney of Atchison coun-
ty reported that beer is manufactured in
your city and delivered by wagon to pri-
vate houses and everywhere else in Atchi-
son? Has not the Topeka papers reported
that "beer flowed in an uninterrupted
sire am" in that city? And did not the
exec tive council know all these to be
true when they singled out Wichita to be
i'm posed upon by law that is disgrace to
this age, And have not the whole pack
who are making this fight on Wichita been
shown to be a lot of hypocrits?

ONE LAW FOR ALL.

There should not be one law for Wichits
and another for Kiowa. Even Mr.. Muir
dock will admit that And we feel as
sured that should General Bradford decide
to 90 down on mission of light and Law
to Barber county he will be Hospitality re-
ceived by cultured and generous people.
And we know that fear does not enter into
the generals composition, and that he will
walk on in his plain path of duty though
thousand cowboys opposite him with
their implements Of destruction. We are
betting on Bradford.-Kansas City Times.
Even Mr.. Murdoch" will admit that a
law which allows small minority to take
the management of city out Of the hands
of its people is not good law. We are
for one law for all cities in the great state
of Kansas. A law which recognizes the
right of the people to govern themselves.
If you please, we are for Home Rule y
We are most decidedly in favor of letting
Kiowa people govern Kiowa.

ish efforts in the other direction.-Topeka

Bradstreets on the Realty Boom.

The following excerpt of general ed.
itorial review from Bradstreets, the great
financial organ of America, shows Wichita
In her true light. That paper says that
activity in real estate transactions this year
has been one of the most marked features
of the somewhat improved condition Of
trade. April % Bradstreets gave some &C
count of the extent of the tendency toward
higher prices in real estate throughout the
country. 1t was pointed out that while is
Olated instances Of mere speculation were
not wanting, the larger share Of the move
nent was founded upon an expectation of
great activity in building the present year.
The present investigation into real estate
transfers and building corroborates this
view. 1t then goes on to give a table
showing the value Of buildings constructed
for the first five months in 1887 in thirty
five leading cities of the union from auth
entic figures. Wichita stands tenth in this
list with $1,617,970 as the amount of
money expended for buildings in the five
months, leading twenty five other import
ant cities. The editor then goes On to say:
1.-The percentages of increase are greatest
at the newer cities west and south. Thus,
while the increase at New York was
about 80 per cent. over 1886, at Wichita
Kansas, 1t was about 500 per cent. When
comparing total values of transactions in
real estate with the sums spent in building,
further proof is furnished that share of
the "bOom" was well founded In twenty
seven cities which report values of trans
actions in real estate and cost of new build
ings, it is found that 500. 113. 357 was ex-
pended in building this year. while the
transactions in real estate amounted to
1891 ,93S, 1884,
Following the table of building opera
tions, the Bradstreets then gives table of
forty three of the leading cities of the
United States, showing the really trans
actions. In that list of forty three cities
Wichita stands third, leading Chicago,
Philadelphia and thirty odd other large

syndicate that early comes to the front and
extends to Kansas its honored manhood,
when it says Gn words in letter just receiv-

LOVELY LYONS.

To the Editor OF the Eagle
Somebody says that town has the great
est boom which has the most building
going on. That being the test, Lyons, in
vulgar parlance. can take the cake. There
are SO many new buildings in progress and
just completed that strangers speak of it
as a new town; and even those who have
be en- here through the ten years in which
Lyons has been making history, are amazed
at the wonderful growth of the present
spring ard summer Workmen of all
kinds-carpenters, masons, plasters, paint
ers, etc.-have been imported from many
of the towns about, as well as from other
states; and still the cry is for more.
New business firms are coming in also
and opening up their sails to the breeze
which brings prosperity 10 Lyons. In ad-
dition to the old relishle pioneer bank of
Lyons. with its capital of 1856. 600, two
new banking houses have been called for
during the past two months by the growing
business Of the place. The First National
j. R. Bell, President, has new three
story brick building in course Of consruc--
ton, in which to find quarters upon its
completion The Lyons Exchange Bank
is the youngest Of these institutions and
already gained the confidence of the CON-.
munity.
Several new dry goods firms have open

WHO ARE UNlONIST?

Who are the true unionist exclaims the
Topeka Democrat There was time along
in the sixties when it was more important
than now to know who were unionist.
The men who fought to restore the union.
it ma be safe to say, were unionist A
good many men who thus fought were
De mocrats. But we remember that along
about 1864 the Democratic party in con-
vention assembled, resolved THAT after a
four years failure to restore the union
blythe experiment of war we are
now in favor of an armistice, and cessation
of hostilities. The Democratic party, of
course, have been always in favor of the
unto n, but it has been at times very unfor-
tunate in the selection of phrases to express
its union sentiments

THE QUEENS JUBILEE.

The scenes Transporting the fore part OF
this week in London and throughout the
British Empire will become historic events,
long to be remembered by the loyal subjects
of the British crown. Scarcely has any
occupant of the British throne ever been so
universally loved and admired as has
Queen Victoria She not only has the love
and esteem of very large majority of her
own subjects, but the respect of all nations.
One of the strongest arguments to be pre-
scented in favor of free government, of a
government by the people, is contained in
the fact that virtue on the part of rulers is
commended by all people and peoples. If
vicious and wicked rulers could gain the
approval of the majority of mankind it
would be an evidence that public opinion
is dangerous measure by which to guage
the Justice of human law. If it be conced-
ed that the majority of mankind are favor
able to good government, but at
the same time there is always a
vicious and wicked minority in the world,
The natural conclusion Is that govern
ment by the majority is almost certain to
be good government. While there is a
strong probability that government by
the minority will be bad government be-
cause this wicked minority is liable to come
into power Whatever may be the objec
ton to the British government, considered
in its entirety; there can be no doubt that
the present queen of Great Britain has per-
formed her part we'll The reports of the
telegraph 60 to show that the Irish people
and the Catholic authorities in that country
refuse to take part in the queens jubilee.
In other words they do not rejoice with
the queens subjects in England and Scot
land, that her msjesty's reign has extended
over the long period of fifty years. What
lesson are we to learn from
this. 1t undoubtedly goes to show
that the Irish people are opposed to a
government by the British crown, whether
that authority is exercised by a good or
bad ruler. They want none of it. 1t
would not be surprising if this manifesto
ton of disloyalty on the part of the Irish
people would result in more legislation
detrimental to the interests of Ireland
When it becomes evident that Irish indie
pendence is the hope of that people, En-
glish statesmen will hasten the conflict
And what will be the result for poor Ire
land only God can know

BUMPTIOUS BRADFORD,

There lies upon our table communica
ton from the pen of gentleman who
heard Mr. Bradford's oral version of his
trip to Wichita after bis return to Topeka,
in which the writer says 'the evident glee
with which Bradford dwelt upon the Incl
dents of his meeting with Murdoch was
noticeable" The communication only
tells what our readers already know, and
is therefore not given space, but before
Mr.. Bradford's words 60 any further we
desire to say that the editor of the Eagle
received and treated that gentleman with
all the courtesy and consideration due any
state officer or other representative of the
pc ople presenting himself in an official ca
pacity, and any assertion to the contrary is
untrue
